TCREI Show #27: Inside the Mind of a Wholesaler with Brad Smith Key Topics Covered

• Wholesaling in the Twin Cities market

• The investor mindset behind sourcing deals

• How contracting experience shapes investment strategy

• Navigating the challenges and frustrations of wholesaling

• The real talk behind working in off-market acquisitions

Episode Summary

In TCREI Show #27, we sit down with Brad Smith, owner and operator of iBuyMSP, a Twin Cities-based wholesaling company. Brad brings a deep, boots-on-the-ground perspective to the conversation — drawing on his background in general contracting, his deal sourcing strategies, and the mindset it takes to work consistently in this high-pressure space.

Brad opens up about what’s working, what’s frustrating, and how he approaches building relationships in a space that’s often misunderstood by outsiders. This is one of those episodes that only scratches the surface, and we’re already looking forward to having Brad back again later this year for a deeper dive.
